\"satchel<\/p>\n

It took me a little while to get into the groove of loving the satchel as an everyday work bag. I loved the first one I owned<\/a>. I received a lot of compliments because for some reason, people here are afraid of wearing colourful accessories, and a red satchel was quite eye catching and different. But even with wear and tear it still feels a bit stiff. And it can’t fit a lot in there due to the stiffness and the fact its quite narrow. I didn’t quite count the Grosvenor Satchel<\/a> as one because it didn’t fit in the mould. I wanted something that had an old school look – that looks like I have filled it with books and was casually slinging it over my shoulder to go to school.<\/p>\n

And then the Radley Hutchinson Satchel came into my life. I wasn’t breaking my self-imposed bag ban, because it was partly a gift \ud83d\ude09 and this one was great because it was slouchy and pliable and suddenly I was back in love \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But I think what I really like the most is that no one here seems to carry a satchel (that I can see). Its great! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"radley<\/p>\n

I love it that I could get togged up in formal work wear and then spoil the whole look by slinging my now slightly scratched satchel cross body and then heading off for a meeting or something similar. I get a couple of curious looks sometimes, but I’m not all that fussed because really, conformity is seriously over-rated \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Then, on the weekend, I could just as easily grab my satchel and go without having to switch out my bags for fear of looking like I’m overdressed. Granted, it would probably be a huge fashion faux pas to carry one to a formal dinner so one has to know just how far to push the boundaries LOL! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

There are a couple of high end designers famous for their satchels – the Mulberry Alexa and Proenza Schouler come to mind – but although I love my luxury and designer, satchels are one area I will not go down the designer route for. For some reason, they just don’t cut it for me because I feel a little pretentious carrying a RM6000 satchel that I’m supposed to bash around to give it that broken in look. I’m sorry if you do own one of these and think I’m being offensive. I don’t mean to be, promise. But if you do own either the Alexa or Proenza Schouler, know that I am insanely jealous anyway \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Do you like carrying satchels and do you own one that you especially love?<\/strong> Or do you think that satchels are just too casual for anything other than the weekend or on holiday? I also happen to love buckles that properly buckle, and not mere magnetic clasps. Its a personal quirk although I know of many who find it too much hassle.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I’d rather not answer questions about what I think I’m doing in that 1st photo because I’ll be honest, I have absolutely no idea \ud83d\ude1b I am however now firmly put in my place to realise that I could never be a fashion blogger \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
